British and Irish Lions prop Kyle Sinckler was arrested but then released without charge following a minor incident in central Auckland after the third Test against the All Blacks.

Sinckler, 24, who also plays for Harlequins and England, was escorted back to his hotel following the incident on Galway Street at 3am on Sunday, Fairfax reports.

In a statement, police confirmed they attended a minor disorder incident at the time.

"A male was placed under arrest but was not charged after further inquiries established that the incident did not warrant prosecution," a spokeswoman said.

He was then taken to his accommodation.

Police would not comment further.

The Lions squad has left the country after the drawn three-Test series with the All Blacks.
